Hey everybody!

Im thrashing with a Debian sarge postfix install, trying to rig postfix
to use 'saslauthd -a pam', when I do 'testsaslauthd -u xxx -p xxx' it
returns success. When I connect via an MUA it rejects my passwords and
when I check the logs it shows:

Jan 2 20:43:33 ip-207-145-0-9 postfix/master[5690]: daemon started --
version 2.1.4
Jan 2 20:44:03 ip-207-145-0-9 postfix/smtpd[5693]: connect from
unknown[24.99.204.76]
Jan 2 20:44:03 ip-207-145-0-9 postfix/smtpd[5693]: warning: SASL
authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such
file or directory

Jan 2 20:44:03 ip-207-145-0-9 postfix/smtpd[5693]: warning:
unknown[24.99.204.76]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed
Jan 2 20:44:04 ip-207-145-0-9 postfix/smtpd[5693]: lost connection
after AUTH from unknown[24.99.204.76]
Jan 2 20:44:04 ip-207-145-0-9 postfix/smtpd[5693]: disconnect from
unknown[24.99.204.76]

I am aware the debian postfix runs chrooted and copied over my
smtpd.conf to every possible location
(/var/spool/postfix/usr/local/lib/sasl2 etc.) which reads:

pwcheck_method: sasauthd

which I think is working b/c postfix knows to use saslauthd but cant
reach it, I have confirmed that saslauthd is running and tested it like
said above.

Any help appreciated, you guys and gals are great!

Thanks!
